Greg Vaughn

Did anyone catch the commercial with Greg Vaughn in it that aired during the soaps? It probably has aired before but since I usually tape the soaps (and therefore fast-forward through commercials), I never noticed it. I think it was for I Can't Believe It's Not Butter. Anyway, he came on the screen and I was like, "Ugh. Like I'd buy anything you're trying to sell, you drug-addicted jerk!!" And then I thought, "Oh wait, I adore Greg Vaughn!! He just plays a hateful character on TV. In real life, he's adorable and sweet." I think it just goes to show how good a job he's doing on GH that I now have such disgust for him!

AMC

So, what do we think? Is Emma the lost child of Dixie & Tad or not? I know we are supposed to believe that is the case and I imagine we'll find out soon enough once David conducts his renegade DNA test but I don't know. It's awfully convenient how these soap families have their long lost children just happen to be living in the same town, what with Alexis-Sam on GH and Spencer-Paige-Hugh on OLTL. Coincidence or contrivance?

OLTL

Is John really dead? I find a hard time believing it but I don't know... I remember seeing something about there being trouble with Michael Easton's contract negotiations. Poor Natalie.

AMC

I really thought Colby would hide out in those tunnels without being found out a lot longer than she did. Now she has all sorts of family gossip! Will anyone even listen to her though?

Today's GH

I love love love Sam's dress - and she looks beautiful in it!

Lulu's words to Dillon echo my own: "If you want a baby so much, go have one with Georgie!" I mean, I just don't get why he is so adamant that the baby be born. It's not just that he is so pro-life (which is how Lucky seems), it's as if he actually wants to be a father already. He's so young; why would he want that?

Question - Does Luke even know about Lucky's drug problem? I'm assuming not but I wasn't sure.

Oh, one last thing. I'm thrilled that Jax is back. I can't even tell you how much I adore Carly & Jax together.

All My Children

I made a decision and I am so OVER All My Children. I have stopped taping it and therefore will basically stop watching it (although I'm sure I might still occasionally catch some of it on SoapNet every once in awhile) . I just noticed that basically for the last month or more, all I've been doing is fast-forwarding through every single storyline. I HATE the teen storylines with Colby and Sydney and the new Montgomery boy (whose name I haven't even bothered to learn!). I HATE the Lily-Terry storyline and that is clearly not going to end well. I would think Lily would be so untrusting of everyone that she would definitely not meet someone online and naively believe everything they say. I HATE the Kendall-Zach stuff, which ties in to the whole Who-Killed-Greg? storyline. I can't believe a murder mystery is not even appealing to me. Josh somewhat appeals to me but I definitely do NOT understand his attraction to Babe, nor do I find them to have any chemistry. Babe cheating on her husband (which I hear is what will happen) is believable, I guess, but I just don't like the Babe-Josh dynamic. I like the thought of Josh & Julia much better. Or Josh & Erin, even. Josh & Simone too. I HATE the Dixie-Tad hate. While I welcome the Let's-Find-Kate storyline, you and I both know the end to that is not coming soon.

So, all in all, as AMC bores me to death this summer, I have officially stopped even pretending to watch it. Thanks for reading my rant!

GH

The scenes with Luke & Lulu were really sweet. I loved them.

I really liked Alexis & Ric together and I just don't see how they can be redeemed at this point. They keep making Ric worse and worse. Surely Alexis will get better and then what?
